There was exposed waste down the west and side slope that needs to be covered. Please continue to keep adequate cover material on the working face so the operator can cover when needing to. Adequate cover material, compaction and seeding needs to take place on areas that will not have any waste added to reduce erosion and potential leachate breakouts.

Solid waste shall be managed within the disposal area throughout the life-of-site and post-closure care period to prevent the escape of waste and the attraction of vectors and scavenging, and to minimize fires and the generation of odors. The owner or operator shall comply with this requirement using the following compaction and cover procedures: (1) The owner or operator shall compact the solid waste. (2) Except as provided in Subparagraph (4) of this Paragraph, the owners and operators of all C&DLF units shall cover the solid waste with six inches of earthen material when the waste disposal area exceeds one-half acre and no less than once weekly. Cover shall be placed at more frequent intervals if necessary to prevent the escape of waste and the attraction of vectors and scavenging, and to minimize fires and the generation of odors. A notation of the date and time of the cover placement shall be recorded in the operating record as specified in Paragraph (n) of this Rule. (3) Areas that will not have additional wastes placed on them for three months or more, but where final termination of disposal operations has not occurred, shall be covered and stabilized with vegetative ground cover or other stabilizing material as provided for in Subparagraph (4) of this Paragraph. (4) Alternative materials or an alternative thickness of cover are allowed with prior approval of the Division if the owner or operator demonstrates that the alternative material or thickness prevents the escape of waste and the attraction of vectors and scavenging, and minimizes fires and the generation of odors without presenting a threat to human health and the environment. Alternative materials that have been approved by the Division for use at any C&DLF may be used at all C&DLFs in accordance with G.S. 130A-295.6(h1).
